Chapter 407 You really think you have a tough life, don’t you?

The long queue of people who had been temporarily repairing the place was scattered all over the place, and in less than half a minute, there was even the sound of snoring coming from all directions.

The officers and soldiers who came here on orders had no idea why they came, nor did they know what their superiors were worried about at the moment. Each one slept more soundly than the other, and no one noticed Cheng San who was shaking his pants as he walked towards the woods.

Xu Yu moved to the front of the team as if looking for a position, and sprinkled the inconspicuous powder in his hand on as many people as possible. When his palm was empty, he found an inconspicuous position beside the carriage, and lay on the ground with his back to the carriage.

At the front of the team, Bai Chengren strode over, suppressing his anger. He looked at the man guarding the carriage with displeasure, "Didn't I ask you to bring some food to the carriage?"

"Are you dead or won't move?!"

The person being scolded knelt on the ground in panic. Qi Lao's sarcastic voice came from inside the car: "No need."

"I won't starve to death in the next three to five days."

Bai Chengren forced himself to smile and said with an ambiguous tone, "We just came down the mountain a short distance. We still have a long way to go."

"Your injuries are serious. If you keep holding on without food or water, what if..."

"There's no such thing as you said."

Mr. Qi was clearly trapped in a dead end, yet his words were leisurely, as if he was the one in control of the situation. His words revealed his disdain for Bai Chengren: "I can't die before I see the person I want to see."

"But death doesn't matter. I've lived enough anyway. I just don't know if you've also given up on life."

"you……"

"Governor Bai."

Qi Lao interrupted Bai Chengren coldly, saying with a hint of a smile, "There are only two days left until the deadline. If you keep dawdling like this, I'm afraid there won't be enough time, right?"

"Why, do you really want to die with me?"

"Qi Jie!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Bai Chengren lifted the carriage curtain with his long sword. Seeing Old Qi leaning against the carriage wall, covered in blood, his eyes turned bloodshot with hatred: "Don't forget that Qi Yan'er is still in my hands."

"If you dare to act rashly, don't blame me..."

"What can you do to me?"

Old Qi lifted his eyelids and glanced at Bai Chengren with a mocking look, then said with a forced smile, "Kill me?"

"If you dare to do it directly, why should you be so patient?"

Ignoring Bai Chengren's sullen face, Old Qi sneered, closed his eyes to hide the dark color in them, and said impatiently, "Get lost."

"If anyone disturbs me again before you see my Yan'er, you will die!"

Bai Chengren's face turned purple, like a rooster with its neck pinched. Veins popped out on the back of his hand that was holding the curtain. He watched Old Qi helplessly but didn't dare to do anything.

No matter whether what Qi Jie said was true or false, Qi Jie could not die now.

Once he died, years of planning would be ruined, and it would not just be his life that would have to pay the price.

Bai Chengren gritted his teeth to hold back his anger. Seeing Hu Wei trembling and refusing to say a word, he couldn't stand it any longer and kicked him, shouting, "Useless thing!"

"Sir... Sir, please listen to my explanation..."

Hu Wei scrambled to his feet and chased after him, crying out in injustice: "Sir, I didn't mean to hide it, sir, I..."

"If you dare to say anything more, I will chop you off right now!"

Hu Wei, having received another slap in the face, finally shut up in frustration. Bai Chengren strode forward with a sullen look on his face: "We'll set off again in a quarter of an hour!"

The moment passed in a flash, and those who were sleeping soundly were kicked up one after another and forced to hurry on.

Xu Yu quietly moved closer to the edge of the carriage, and when he turned around, he was met with the cold gaze of Mr. Qi from behind the curtain.

Xu Yu squinted his eyes as the wheels rolled, and a whistle with a strange tone sounded in the woods without warning.

The officers and soldiers who didn't know what was going on turned their heads in confusion. Old Qi, who had heard something strange, had a cold look in his eyes and immediately lowered the curtain that had been opened a little.

Swish, swish, swish...

The shaking sound coming from the grass became more and more obvious, which made people feel strange. At the same time, an indescribable creepy feeling gathered in everyone's heart.

The first to notice something was wrong was the horse.

The horses that were originally moving forward in an orderly manner lost control, neighing loudly and stamping their feet on the spot, then began to shake their heads and smash their hooves like crazy, as if they had foreseen something very terrible.

The carriage began to shake violently and uncontrollably, and the people on horseback had to hold on to the reins tightly to avoid being thrown off.

Bai Chengren roared angrily: "What the hell is going on?!"

"Why is it so strange..."

"snake!"

"Look, sir, they are all snakes!"

The strange noise coming from the bushes became concrete at this moment, and snake heads and bodies of all sizes rushed out frantically, rushing towards the long team and horses as if bewitched!

The frightened carriages, horses and people were in complete chaos. A sneer came from the carriage that was shaking wildly in infinite fear. The moment Bai Chengren swung his knife to cut off the snake's head, he turned around and saw Old Qi lifting the curtain with one hand to reveal half of his body.

Old Qi turned a blind eye to the terrifying swarm of snakes writhing on the ground, even with a hint of a sneer on his lips: "If you deliberately delay again, the next gift won't be snakes."

"Qi Jie, are you behind this?!"

Old Qi tacitly acknowledged this great achievement, flicked his fingertips and snorted, "My Lord, you only remember my name is Qi Jie. Could it be that you have forgotten the good reputation of me, the old poisoner?"

"A mere swarm of snakes is just an appetizer. Why are you so excited, sir?"

"When we really reach the underworld hand in hand, it won't be too late to get angry then."

Old Qi watched the snakes crawling all over the ground with a smile on his face, as if he was watching a joke. They were finally driven away by the hastily lit torches and burning clothes.

The chaos was about to end, and Old Qi seemed to have lost interest. He played with the small green snake that had climbed onto the carriage at some point and turned it on his fingertips, with its sharp fangs pointed right at Bai Chengren.

Seeing this, Bai Chengren, who was burning with anger, forced himself to swallow his anger and took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Qi Lao's disdain grew even stronger. He let the little green snake bite his fingertips and said indifferently, "Stay away from me. Anyone who comes close will die."

After saying this, Old Qi lowered the carriage curtain, barely calming the commotion. No one dared to step forward. Finally, Cheng Qi, who was hiding in the crowd, volunteered: "Sir, let me drive the carriage."

Bai Chengren hadn't expected that someone else had already infiltrated the team. Adding to his annoyance, he didn't think much about it and said with a sullen face, "Then you come."

"Watch the car carefully and don't let him do anything wrong!"

Cheng Qi nodded in fear with a pale face, and sat on the bicycle frame as if he had mustered up the courage.

The rest of the people, who had already lost their courage, did not want to get close to this unlucky carriage at all. Without being told, they consciously kept a distance from the front, back, left and right.

The carriage was still surrounded in the middle of the team, and it seemed that there was no way to escape.

But in the interval when the snakes appeared and caused chaos, there was already one more person in the narrow carriage.

Old Qi looked at the extra Xu Yu expressionlessly, and lowered his voice very low: "Boy, I didn't kill you with a single blow in the secret room before. You really think you have a tough life, don't you?"
